In my previous post, I inquired about pushing tri x.(posted 8844 days ago)Perhaps if I explain why you will better understand what I will be trying to photograph, and someone might be able to offer me some advice.
Our town has always hosted a Port Huron to Mackinaw Sailboat race, the week before sees the fleet come in, along with up to 100,000 visitors by the riverbank Thursday and Friday night to view the boats and party like crazy. It leaves open the opprotunity for some great shots, some in daylight, some after dark. There is a picture of the main area that is on my webpage,(not looking for critique, but a picture is worth a thousand words) www.phview.com, the shot of the small bridge.
The bridge that you can see will be shut down to auto traffic, and will allow me a location to set up a tripod. During the days, I will shoot color, as the boats with their flags and pennents are beautiful, but I will also shoot B/W during the days and at night, that is why I was interested in pushing the tri-x, no local photo place has anything faster than 400 BW.I will be using a Canon A-2,28-105 IF/USM Lens and have a Vivitar 283 Flash. ANY suggestions on how I might get some good shots would be appreciated. As a beginner, I appreciate all the input I can get!!
